Woohoo! The team went 3-0 in our WNBA picks last night, with none of them ever in doubt.

Tonight, we have a slightly smaller slate with only two games on the schedule. Our big night put us six games over .500, and we’re ready to use that momentum to power us through today and all the way to the playoffs. 

The games tonight will affect the bottom of the playoff seeding, so let’s get to our picks for who will be victorious today.

Best WNBA Picks For Wednesday, August 10

  • Liberty +4** (-110) vs. Wings
  • Lynx -3.5 vs. Mercury

Liberty vs. Wings Best Bets

Give the Wings a ton of credit. They’ve turned themselves into the hottest team in the league and locked up the 6-seed after taking care of business vs. the Liberty in their previous matchup. It’s been even more impressive to see their resilience without leading scorer Arike Ogunbuwale in their last three victories.

The Liberty have not been good down the stretch, but with Dallas firmly in its spot with no upward or downward movement, I’ll back New York to cover on the road at 5.5-points. 

The Liberty, despite their 13-20 record are 12-10-1 against-the-spread (ATS) as an underdog this season, playing in many close games but ultimately failing to capitalize late. Star guard Sabrina Ionescu is still in contention for league MVP, and will likely be playing quality minutes to push the opportunity further.

I also wonder if the Wings may choose to give some players the opportunity to rest up knowing their seeding is almost certain not to change. 

Dallas is hot, but I think it would rather be healthy come playoff-time next week. Give me the value on New York plus the points in this rematch game. Ben Heisler

Pick: Lynx +4 vs. Wings (-110)

Lynx vs. Mercury Best Bets

I feel good about fading the Mercury tonight. This is the fourth time these teams will meet this season. The Lynx have won all three of the prior meetings and have cleared this spread in each game. 

Minnesota’s offense is what will power it today. The Lynx average the fourth-most points per game, while the Mercury give up the third-most points per game. 

The Lynx are also much better against the spread than the Mercury. Phoenix is 14-18-1 while Minnesota is 18-15.

The Lynx are playing better right now, are better against the spread and have dominated this matchup all year.– Donnavan Smoot

Pick: Lynx -3.5 vs. Mercury (-110)
